Tech Notes

These instructions will show you how to add a second gmail account to your existing one. You might want a new one to separate personal mail from business mail, or to use for a club or hobby. There are no restrictions on how many accounts you can have.

The simple way is to go directly to the gmail account creation page (https://accounts.google.com/SignUp) and fill out the form provided by Google. If you choose this method, do not click the sign in button at the top. This will just take you to your existing account.

Another way is to use your existing account to either (1) create a new account, or (2) login to any of your other accounts. The process is not hard, but requires clicking through several screens to get to the end result.

Note: I am using a Flickr Pro account – These used to cost $25.00/yr but are no longer available to new users. One of the advantages over free accounts was NO Adds! this is now available as an upgrade for $49.99/yr. Another advantage was unlimited storage. Free accounts now get 1 TB of storage. A second TB is available for $499.99/yr. Frankly if you need more than a TB of cloud photo storage, I think you need a more sophisticated storage system than FLICKR.
